A mix of must-read financial books including timeless classics and newer faves, plus our suggestions of fun literary selections to teach children about the value of a dollar too.
There is always room for personal growth in our lives, and this especially applies to our money in this economy. Most of our understanding (or lack of) surrounding money management was informed by our childhood and formative years. Now that we have this knowledge, how do we move beyond what was or wasn’t taught at the kitchen table regarding our finances so we can do a better job of keeping and growing our coins?
Since April is Financial Literacy Month and we know how much you enjoy our Black book recommendations, we curated 15 personal finance titles to consider adding to your library. There are even some picks for the kiddos in your village. Whether you’re looking to get out of debt, consistently budget your money or begin investing to establish generational wealth for your family, there is a book below for you. The best part? All 14 books were penned by Black authors in a practical and conversational, not judgmental or boring textbook-like, kind of way. Let’s go!
